Yes. We immediately got our Alberta Health card since we did not receive any from B.C. That is another thing that I liked with Alberta. No grace period for health insurance and at the same time no monthly premium. In B.C., I believe we had to pay for about $150 per month.

My husband was I.T. Manager in the U.S. Bachelor Degree in Computer Science and MBA with specialization in I.T. He currently got a job as System Administrator.

I went to the website of the province I wanted to register in ie. CLPNA (Alberta) and CLPNBC (British Columbia). They have the requirements needed for International Educated Nurses. I gathered and submitted all requirements. It is time consuming so I suggest anyone to do it 2-3 months prior to...

I am currently renting a 2 bedroom 1 bath apartment in the SW sector of Calgary. My rent is $1100 per month including heat, water and garbage. It is very close to downtown so easy access to public transportation.

I am a LPN not RN. I don't know the job market for RN in Vancouver. Sorry...

Wow!! I can't believe that it has only been two months since we've come to this beautiful country. Let me tell you, it has not been easy but it is always the journey that will teach us along the way and at the same time make us cherish what we have now. We came to Canada via Vancouver...

Re: VANCOUVER vs TORONTO for Nurses,CI (registration, survival jobs &cost of liv Hi! i am a LPN and landed in Vancouver Oct. 14. i submitted a lot of resumes but no response. i called a facility in Alberta and within a week, i was offered a job. Try to apply prior to landing so u won' t have to...

We landed in Vancouver on Oct. 14 2010. I am a Licensed Practical Nurse and my husband is I.T. Manager. I initially applied here in Vancouver but no response. I applied in the province in Alberta and in a span of 5-6 days, they offered me a position. I will have to move to Alberta though but...

i moved from L.A. to Vancouver and I used ABF upack. it is the cheapest way to move. Customer service is superb. i suggest u move most of ur things cuz it is far more expensive to buy the things here than in the States.

In my opinion, you should keep ur options in the U.S. open until u find a job here. We were in the same situation as you and we decided to leave our jobs in the U.S. to come here. It is hard not having any income and seeing all our savings going down. What u can do is take a leave of absence...

I landed in Vancouver last week and my first stop was Scotiabank because I heard a lot of good reviews here. But when I tried to open an account, the person in the bank informed me that they don't have the personnel to help me open an account and I have to wait for 4 days before they can do it...

I flew from LAX to Vancouver International Airport via Alaska Airline and I will say that I had a pleasant flight. When I arrived, the airport was practically empty so I did my landing procedure in about 45 minutes total and that included clearing my dog with agriculture department.

We are here in the U.S. under F1 and our visas expired long before our initial application to CIC. As long as you maintain your status meaning with current I-20's then you shouldn't have any problem.

Congrats :) Can you tell me ur noc? My sister, who is also in the Philippines, applied the same year as you but she hasn't heard anything from her consultant.

I was able to rent an apartment. All I gave them was my bank statement and my approval letter from CIC. I think they double checked with the bank and approved my application.

Hi! From what I gather from this forum is that if CIC needs more documentation from you, they will ask along with medical request. Honestly, I am not familiar with too much of the process because everything was handled by my consultant. I am sorry. You should probably start a new thread so the...

I think it depends on the visa office. Mine changed to decision made but didn't receive my passports back until about ten days after. So don't worry your pp might be on the way back. Good luck and Happy landing.

Hi! I am registered in both the province of Alberta and British Columbia. Dito ako sa States nag aral and nag work so I don't know kung mas mahirap pag sa Phils nagaral. What I did was naghanap ako ng province na mas madaling magpareciprocate kaya nauna akong kumuha sa Alberta then noong nakuha...

I would love to thank everyone for your best wishes. I will keep you guys posted on my landing and job hunting experiences.

What is ur noc? My case was initially denied due to wrong noc filing by my consultant. We reapplied and finally got our visas. Read the denial letter in detail and see what was the basis of denial. If you can correct it then reapply or appeal. Hope this helps...
